As she has done before, Danielle Kavanagh opened her home and gardens for Legacy Donor Foundation's Soul Revival, which funds the foundation's educational outreach programs and awareness campaigns promoting organ, eye and tissue donations. According to Jeanette Slakey, director of development, "Legacy's mission is to encourage all Louisiana citizens to register as organ, eye and tissue donors."

Thea Pagel produced Soul Revival 2012 with decorations by Pompadour Productions. Raves ensued. As for the taste treats, they were coordinated by Woody Ruiz to give a festival feel. Fish tacos, sliders, fried chicken and crepes were among the enticements, as were drinks at the "circle bar" provided by David Victory of Victory Bar.

Shades of Praise and their gospel greats initiated the musical momentum, which was followed by The Mia Borders Band with guest performers Jim Letten on drums and John Casbon, harmonica. Adding a brassy bounce was the Stooges Brass Band, which paraded into the party to effect a real revival feeling, and the later-on DJ John Lejeune, who turned the premises into a hip nightclub. People danced until revelry wrapped.
